Profile

Geranyl Acetate is curated in this catalog as a rosy material, with a secondary reading of juicy fruit.

On the strip it reads sweet fruity rose.

It is registered under CAS 105-87-3.

The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.57 · the heart

A boiling point of 242.2 °C and a molecular weight of 196.29 g/mol give Geranyl Acetate a volatility index of 0.57, which places it in the heart of a composition.

It arrives as the opening thins and holds the centre of a composition, which is where most of the character of a fragrance is decided.

The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.

Questions about Geranyl Acetate

What does Geranyl Acetate smell like?

Geranyl Acetate reads as rosy and juicy fruit, described in the catalog as sweet fruity rose.

Is Geranyl Acetate a top, heart or base note?

Geranyl Acetate sits in the heart. Its volatility index of 0.57 is computed from a boiling point of 242.2 °C and a molecular weight of 196.29 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It arrives as the opening thins and holds the centre of a composition, which is where most of the character of a fragrance is decided.

How much Geranyl Acetate should I use?

The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max% for Geranyl Acetate. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.

What can I use instead of Geranyl Acetate?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Rosamusk BHT - IFF (81.3% match), Damascone Delta (80.8% match) and Peonile - Givaudan (79.8% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Geranyl Acetate. Ranking ignores price.

What is the CAS number for Geranyl Acetate?

Geranyl Acetate is registered under CAS 105-87-3 in this catalog.
